We&#8217;re now back in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jellyfish and Climate Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Jellyfish are stirring up the oceans. Above is a video demonstrating, with dye, how the negative pressure void behind a swimming jellyfish brings some water along for the ride.
